weight youself in 3 days from now. If nothing, you may need to add weight lifting and increase your calories a little bit more, or else you are in starvation mode probaly

Re: Post up your bodybuilding training problems and I'll help you develop a new routi

Since I just started back I've focused more on form and control then amt of weight, but would like to get back up there. I bench 350 8 years ago, at 185lb taking creatine mono, whey, Ammino's, and Xendarine. Then I got married and lol you know the rest. I have gone from 291 over a year and 1/2 ago to today at 242, with a goal of 185-195. Currenlty I train Chest and Tri's together as I get a hugh pump from that. Then Bi's, back, shoulders, and legs seperate days.

Bi's bench presses, DB bench and incline DB bench, Pek Deck, 8 reps 3-4 sets
Back: machine pulldowns, db one arm rows, barbell rows,
shoulders: db shoulders presses, behind neck pulldowns, machine presses, laterial raises
legs, squats, leg presses, leg ext, lying leg curls, and fixing to add deadlifts
Tri's: rope press downs, One arm db press behind head, skull crushers, machine dips

I had been cutting so when I started a bulking cycle two weeks ago I changed up my routine a little. Critique it all you want, I'm always looking for advice.

Monday : Chest
flat bench 4 sets
incline bench 3 sets
decline bench 2 sets
incline dumbbell flyes 2 sets

Tuesday: Back
pull ups : as many sets as it takes to get to 30 reps
barbell rows 4 sets
close grip chin ups 3 sets
deadlifts 4-5 sets

Wednesday: Shoulders
barbell shoulder press 4 sets
arnold press 4 sets
seated laterals 2-3 sets
bent over laterals 2-3 sets
shrugs 2-3 sets

Thursday: legs
squats 4-6 sets
leg curls 2 sets
leg extension 2-3 sets
standing calf raises 4 sets

Friday: biceps
barbell curl 3 sets
preacher curl 3 sets
seated dumbbell curl 2 sets

Saturday: triceps
close grip bench press 4 sets
overhead tricep extensions 4 sets
reverse pressdown 2-4 sets

Sunday: REST!

I try to do 8 reps per set and I'm adding weight to every exercise weekly.

Is this decent and if not how should I change it up?

Beginner here, need help setting up a routine for bulking up.

Hey guys, I'm a total beginner, starting at the gym either this week or next, and would like your help on setting up a routine.

1st thing I've done is got in contact with 3J's Nutrition Network who is setting me up with a diet for bulking.

I want a routine for bulking, primarily focus on arms, shoulders, lats, traps, chest, abs, and of course legs, but only because I hear working out legs has its benefit as well, but not because I want to build them up, not now at least, my main focus is upper body.

A little about me, im 34, 5'11", about 175lbs, haven't lifted since I was like 20, so I will be probably lifting some sissy weight at 1st...but nonetheless, I want a routine that will work with my diet for bulking.

My schedule will be every other day, 3 days a week for starters. Let me know what a good routine for bulking would be, what I should do for warming up, what I should do on my days off, etc.

Thanks in advance,
Jon

Hello the_alcatraz! Came to this forum to see what you think of my routine. I'm a couple of weeks in and results are already presenting themselves in the form of fitness, alertness and a touch of muscle. I am 6ft tall, 28 years old and have a weight of 140lbs. I have a York workbench with bars and dumbells. Well here it is...

I start off my routine with...

10x barbell behind neck press @ 9kg
10x barbell curl @ 9kg
10x barbell upright row @ 9kg

Before moving onto...

3x8 barbell flat bench press @ 27kg
3x8 barbell incline bench press @ 18kg
3x8 barbell close grip bench press @ 9kg
2x8 dumbell bicep curls @ 9.2kg

The weights are being slowly increased as my muscles improve. This is all upper body and that's what I'd like to focus on. Is there anything I'm missing or a body part I'm neglecting? And would other exercises benefit me more than the ones listed?

Thank you so much.

I have trouble with creating a good diet
I don't know what to cook for dinners as I'm working all day and find it very difficult to prepare dinner.
Thats a workout in itself
Yes I can cook, no problem but it takes quite a bit of time
I also have other commitments after work 3 times a week so its very hard to fit in the eating part.
I'm sure I am not alone.

Don't worry about sissy weight.... everyone has to start somewhere.

If I were you, I would look up Rippetoes 3x5--- it's a nice program for beginners. It's

Day A
Squat- 3x5
Deadlift- 1x5
Bench Press- 3x5
Dips- 3 sets (optional)

Day B
Squat- 3x5
Row/Power Clean- 3x5
Military Press- 3x5
Pullups- 3 sets

focuses on the basic, essential movements that you should know in lifting. They're compound movements, meaning that they work multiple muscle groups in one movement. Good luck!!


@ Losty- you should post on this forum.. so should you jon. Unfortunately, not many people check here anymore. make a topic for yourselves. Many people, myself included, have a log on here. We all follow each other's logs, give advice and compliments, and it helps keep people motivated.

@ Cow- you should check out the diet forum. Will do you a lot of good bro!

Thats just like stronglifts 5X5, just 2 less sets, right?
